Harry Posted May 17, 2010 Share #1 Posted May 17, 2010 Hogging more than one subway seat. Blasting music from an iPod. Leaning up against a subway pole. Inconsiderate straphangers who break these unspoken rules of rail riding are now getting publicly shamed on a new Web site created by a Brooklyn graphic designer. "I'm not asking people to be Mother Teresa," said Grant Gold, 24, creator of ViolationReport.org, where fed-up commuters can upload photos of flagrant etiquette offenders or, if they're brazen, print out a "ticket" to hand out in person. "I'm just saying, don't be a jerk."

Grand Concourse Posted May 17, 2010 Share #2 Posted May 17, 2010 This is a mixed bag: sure I agree on crackdowns on idiots like the one pictured above, but then again people should really mind their own business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INDman Posted May 17, 2010 Share #3 Posted May 17, 2010 How many "creative" people have made sites like this before? Any jackass who hands some one a "ticket" is looking to get their ass kicked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B35 via Church Posted May 17, 2010 Share #4 Posted May 17, 2010 Everyone wants to be a vigilante nowadays.... I'd love to see a jpeg/gif/png/img file of me, on that site, listening to my MP3 player "too loud".... That'll be the first clown; I meant person, in history to have ever posted an image/photo that actually embeds sounds within it... LMAO... wait a minute... I didn't see the part about handing out a ticket.... I wish some wanna be transit cop would hand me some piece of paper telling me I broke some unwritten rule.

Queens Surface Posted May 17, 2010 Share #5 Posted May 17, 2010 Instead of taking photos of people's behavior in the subway and posting it on a website, they should approach the person and tell them what they are doing is wrong. But most of them would be too scared to do so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But most of them would be too scared to do so... With stuff that's been going on like that train and train incident, the last thing I'm going to do is walk up to a stranger and tell them what they're doing is screwed up. I think I'd sooner take my chances snapping a photo and posting it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forest Glen Posted May 17, 2010 Share #13 Posted May 17, 2010 I agree that some people have annoying habits like taking up more than one seat and talking too loud. However, I don't think this is the appropriate way to handle such incidents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
